Meet the Cast
Here are some of the main players in Chloe's Chaos. Most of them appear in one or more other books in the series.
Chloe wishes she’d been bright enough to go to grammar school, but her folks placed more emphasis on her looking good enough to catch a rich husband who would look after her. She makes several poor choices – particularly concerning the guys she dates, resulting in her becoming embroiled in several dangerous situations.
Tina reckons Chloe has more spunk than all of the boys put together, and that people don’t see courage and spirit hiding under her sweet smile and humble manner.
Tina Meredith
Chloe describes her best friend Tina as a bold courageous adventurer, who turns into a what the Chartwell nasties would call a spotty, four-eyed swot. Although they drift apart when they go to different high schools, Tina returns just when Chloe hits rock bottom and pulls her through a tough patch.
Something happened to Drew that summer in France. He’d picked up a sophisticated air, talking about drinking espressos in bars. His style had changed considerably, with long, floppy hair and an arty scarf which he kept on until one of the teachers demanded he remove it. His mannerisms were similarly flamboyant, resulting in him earning an unsavoury label. Unfortunately, he didn’t do himself any favours, leading to horrid consequences. Justin felt threatened by him.
Caught wrong-footed, Chloe played for time “Drew, this is Justin. And this is my … friend, Drew.” She dropped the “very good” at the last minute, but the tiny pause had Justin raising an eyebrow.
“Boyfriend?” He leaned closer, using a stage whisper. “Or girlfriend?”
Justin Palmer
After a pre-teen crush, Justin becomes Chloe’s love interest for far longer than a girl ought to tolerate. Here’s what happened when her friends met him:
Penny gestured behind Chloe. “Don’t look now, but that boy’s been staring at you for ages.”
Janet immediately looked. “Which boy?”
“The gorgeous blond talking to your mum.”
“This must be the mystery boy Helen’s been keeping away from us. What a dish.”
Janet Jackson
When Janet and her family moved to Warmington, Chloe was the only one at Oakfield Juniors to welcome Janet, and she in turn welcomed Chloe into her family, introducing her to her cousin, Penny, and sister, Helen.
Helen Jackson
Helen was dating Justin when Chloe met him for the second time. Jealous of his attraction to the younger girl, Helen made some nasty accusations, resulting in a traumatic return to Copperford Park. But all’s well that ends well.
